Conclusion of Rape of the lock
- The Rape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope.One of the most commonly cited examples of high burlesque, it was first published anonymously in Lintot's Miscellaneous Poems and Translations (May 1712) in two cantos (334 lines); a revised edition "Written by Mr. Pope" followed in March 1714 as a five-canto version (794 lines) accompanied by six engravings. Pope boasted that this sold more than three thousand copies in its first four days.
- The final form of the poem appeared in 1717 with the addition of Clarissa's speech on good humour. The poem was much translated and contributed to the growing popularity of mock-heroic in Europe.
- Based on a story told to Alexander Pope by his friend John Caryll, the poem The Rape of the Lock parodies a trivial event in life by comparing it to the epic world of the gods.
- Both Arabella Fermor and her potential husband, Lord Petre, came from wealthy, recusant Catholic families in an era when all religions aside from Anglicanism were subject to legal restrictions and punishments due to laws like the Test Act. (For instance, Petre, a Catholic, was unable to occupy the position in the House of Lords that was legitimately his.) Due to an argument that followed Petre's unauthorised removal of a lock of Arabella's hair, there is now a rift between the two families.
